1969 for sale



Careful, now, let's not lump those of us who own both muscle cars and
Imperials in with the smash-up derby crowd, we are definitely not the same
kind of animal. Their only thrill is the mindless destruction of a once
proud automobile, while I take pride in preserving/restoring   products of
the old Chrylser Corporation....  I'd like to think I'm slightly more
evolved than the knuckle-draggin' demo boys...
